Mystery Mardi Gras Shipwreck

Synopsis:

Four thousand feet below the choppy seas, the remains of a 19th century shipwreck lie in wait. After two years of meticulous planning, and at a price tag of over $4 million, the deepest underwater archaeological mission ever attempted in the Gulf of Mexico is about to begin.

The team of top-level oceanographic researchers have less than three weeks to recover as many artifacts as possible from the site. Using state-of-the-art submarine vehicles, the pilots retrieve items as tiny as Spanish coins and as massive as a 950 pound cannon. All in the hope of putting a name to this shipwreck and writing a new chapter in the maritime history of the Gulf of Mexico.
